Mint Chocolate Brownies Dessert Recipe Recipe

With all the possibilities for chocolate lovers to splurge making a chocolate treat at home might seem superfluous.

But as exciting as it is to open a package of luxury chocolates, it's just as pleasurable to bake a treat.

Finding your favorite chocolate for cooking is part of the enjoyment. You've got more varieties than ever in supermarkets and specialty stores.

Start by bringing home a few different brands of bittersweet chocolate bars.

Take a small bite. Let the chocolate melt on your tongue. Notice whether the chocolate is smooth or gritty, and whether you're tasting chocolate or off flavors. Melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler and spoon over ice cream (no one said this work is easy!). Does the chocolate stand up to other ingredients?

Use your favorite chocolate in the following mint chocolate brownies recipe. For better texture, make this mint chocolate brownies dessert recipe 24 hours before and store in the refrigerator. Bring the mint chocolate brownies to room temperature to serve.

Cover leftover brownies with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate up to a week or freeze up to a month.
